| Occurrence | USAN 01 - Wrongside Door Failure on DART - In-cab display incorrectly indicating passenger doors are closed when open |
| Occurrence Date | 18 September 2013 |
| Date Closed | 31/12/2013 |
The in-cab driver indications for the passenger door indicate that the doors are closed, when in fact, they remain open. The safety consequence as a result of this equipment failure could lead to a Dart train being driven while the doors are open; with a risk to passenger safety.
Iarnród Éireann should put in place mitigation measures to prevent the wrong side failure of the door interlocking equipment on the Dart trains.
